Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files 20 Years Ago, May 30, 1984 A series of financial “miracles” came to a successful conclusion at 11:10 this morning and Judson Baptist College became the owner of its campus on Scenic Drive. The “miracle” tag on the process that led the college to becoming the owner of the campus was from JBC President Dr. Roger Crabbs. A large crowd of local and are dignitaries, college officials and students, the major participants in the process and members of the local media and two Portland television stations were on hand to witness the event. Polly Harth and Dan Schooler were named outstanding seniors by Wahtonka High School during an awards ceremony Tuesday night. The winners are selected by the faculty on the basis of character, scholarship, citizenship and service. The awards are provided by the Wyam Kiwanis. Harth also won the Ernie Stranz principals award, the Oregon Scholars award and three scholarships. Schooler shared the Army Reserve Scholar-Athlete award with Leanna Carpenter and was a scholarship winner. 40 Years Ago, May 30, 1964 Numerous awards and honors went to Wahtonka High School students during an awards assembly program Friday afternoon. Presentations included a podium and gavel from Dixie Wendt, senior class president, to Dennis Stovall, student body president, who in turn presented it to Bob Runie, the student body president for next year. 60 Years Ago, May 30, 1944 The members of the Old Fort Dalles Pioneers’ association today inaugurated a custom of selecting each year the grave of a pioneer for special honors on Memorial Day. After the regular American Legion services at the cemetery, the Boy Scouts and representatives of the pioneers and a number of local people gathered to lay a wreath on the grave of William C. Laughlin, grandfather of Mrs. H.L. Houghton of The Dalles as the first observance of this custom. Miss Dorothy Godknecht, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Godknecht of Boyd [Oregon] and graduate of Dufur [Oregon] High school has been named winner of the 1944 Botsford, Constantine and Gardner advertising contest at the university, according to an announcement received today from the news bureau of the university. An award of $40 accompanies the prize. Miss Godknecht is a sophomore in journalism. 80 Years Ago, May 30, 1924 Now that the United States has adopted prohibition, the entire world will soon be following its example was the prediction made last night by “Pussyfoot” Johnson, noted traveler and crusader for the cause of prohibition, in an [sic] public address at the civic auditorium. Mr. Johnson spoke under the auspices of the local ministerial association. The United States, parts of Canada, two states of Mexico, Finland, Norway, Turkey, Denmark and Belguim, as far as distilled liquors are concerned, New Zealand and Austria are dry, the speaker said. The sophomore class of the local high school held election of officers yesterday, giving the office of president to Donald McGowan. James Wray was named vice-president; Helen Saunders, secretary and Frank Devaney, treasurer; board of control member, George Stadelman. Retiring offices of the class are Albert Forman, president, Sterl Boothby, vice-resident; Beryl Messenger, secretary; Donald McGowan, treasurer; Marion Sexton, board of control member. 100 Years Ago, May 30, 1904 The decision that murderer Williams must meet his terrible fate at The Dalles has caused no little excitement here, Sheriff Sexton being one who wishes it might be otherwise. It seems that crimes committed previous to the passage of the law which provides for hangings taking place at Salem [Oregon] must be avenged in the courtyard of the county wherein the county was committed. The last hanging at The Dalles was in 1887, when Cox was hung. Williams’ sentence will be pronounced tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o’clock. The question of the disposition to be made of boy tramps is one which claims the attention of Recorder Filloon frequently of late. Yesterday Marshall Wood ran in two more, who say they are from Minnesota.
